Note: See photo number four. Catcher claims tag play. See runners helmet. Bangor ruled safe.

Looks bad, get the photographer to provide the video or the previous frames from the thing the camera does when it just keeps on clicking. We need to see the ball in the glove too. If this was blown I would ask where the ump was positioned but the only explanation would be blocked by the batter or ducking to avoid the throwback, if it was blown.

Which one of the feuding SA associations called this? Or was it UIL selected?

Johnson keeps winning. Johnson upsets No. 1-ranked C.C. Carroll - San Antonio Express-News. CC Carroll ranked fifth in the nation by MaxPreps baseball poll.

Johnson's rally, season ends on interference play - San Antonio Express-News

UIL should respond with further guidance. Chalk this up to learning experience. No need to bash up umpire. Just pointing how close the game was played by both teams and how rule affected play. Not sure who assigned two-person crew. Wondering why someone wasn't available to work as part of three-person crew.

The schools did not want to pay for 3 or 4 man?

Is Johnson HS in San Antonio? Anytime you take down a team from Corpus Christi, it's quite an accomplishment. South HS in San Antonio usually aren't slouches either.

Yes Johnson is a new high school in the NEISD district. Opened up 4 years ago. The coach there is Gordon Geselle. He was previously at SA Madison for a long time. South San HS has not had the caliber of talent recently that they used to have, although this year the pitcher they had I heard was unhittable, just nasty breaking stuff.

It was TCUA, they had a three man crew for game one, then only a two man crew for games 2 and 3. Sorry, don't know any details on why they didn't have a full crew.
